Catwoman #42

Catwoman #42 from September 2015 presents a striking cover by Kevin Wada, rendered in warm watercolor tones, that places a cool, composed Selina Kyle in civilian dress at the foreground while a masked, blonde fighter — armed with nunchaku — lunges dynamically behind her, the bold "Spoiler Alert!" banner hinting at some charged tension between the two. The pairing of Selina's poised detachment against the combative energy behind her makes for a genuinely compelling visual contrast. Valentine, Messina, and Loughridge bring "Gathered from All Sides" to life inside, promising the kind of street-level Gotham intrigue this creative team does so well.
